Our favourite homegrown psych-rockers, Tame Impala, absolutely smashed apart Coachella last weekend as they performed new music live for the very first time, and before the band venture back into the Californian desert for the second edition of Coachella, they stopped by Conan O’Brien’s studios to play some tunes.
The five-piece, led by the almighty Kevin Parker, played a shortened version of their new song ‘Let It Happen’ to a very impressed O’Brien & Co., Parker’s dreamlike vocals gorgeously partnering with the very AIR-inspired synthesised harmonies placing the audience under their hypnotic spell.

As always, the boys from Tame Impala have a very busy couple of months ahead of them, the band are on the open international road for a slew of festival performances before at long-last, they make their way home in July for Splendour In The Grass.
Check out the very on-point performance here:
Earlier this year Tame Impala revealed that their third studio LP, Currents, will drop some time this year, the guys at Triple J lucky enough to have a chat to him about the highly anticipated record.
Speaking with radio hosts Veronica and Lewis, Parker attempted to explain the sound of the new album, “it’s [honestly] hard to say…there’s definitely a lot of different things on there, definitely my most varied. I already get the feeling no two songs are alike and I’m not sure if everyone says that when they release an album” he said.
Giving away only tiny snippets of info, Parker admitted that he’d “written, performed, recorded, produced, and mixed” both ‘Let It Happen’ and ”Cause I’m A Man’, “I just decided to take the leap of faith and do it myself” he stated.
And the almighty question, when will the album drop? “No one really knows if albums are going to be announced a month before or [if] they come out straight away” he explains, “I’m kind of loving that being the case; it’s all very mysterious and changeable.”
